RFK Jr. overrules experts to keep hantavirus cruise ship passenger in quarantine

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. refused to release a hantavirus-exposed cruise ship passenger from quarantine in Nebraska despite a federal medical review concluding no further confinement was necessary. The passenger, Angela Perryman, remains detained as Florida officials rejected federal conditions for monitoring her at home, sparking criticism from public health experts who called the decision a rights violation.
